The council bill making an appropriation

passed after debate. The educational bill
prepared by Superintendent OF Public In
struction Jones was amended and passed
Gov. Church to-day sent in the following adj
ditional appointments:
Trustees deaf mute institute at Sioux Falls,
Walter w. Goddard, Jacob L. Gilbert, Demo-
Gratis, and G. III. Wynn and Charles r.. Mckinney,
Republicans; tnfRne asylum at Yankton, Frank
Van TasseL, Charles H Brown, Martin J. Lewis,
Democrats. and William Powers and j, s. Will
Jams, Republicans; Madison normal school board
Of education, d. ID. Baldwin and George G.. Jones,
both Democratic.
This clears up everything except attorney
general and superintendent and assistant
superintendent of public instruction. Many
believe that as the present attorney general
is a Democrat no change will be made in
that Office. An executive session was held
by the council this evening, and with 1t all
danger Of a contest between that body and
the new executive disappeared. The nomi-
nations previously made were confirmed. It
is understood that the voices OF Two or three
Of the councilmen were still for war, but
they were powerless to accomplish anything.
1t seems that the senate confirmed all the
nominations sent in yesterday, except that
of James Twombly for trustee Of the Grand
Forks university, and he was opposed by
Collins If TwombIy Is rejected, as he Is q
Republican, the governor will send in an
other name that they may &c agreed upon.
